Patients from New York usually weigh the long flight against the difference in cost. New City Clinic makes the Istanbul side predictable: a facelift package for €3,000 or a face and neck lift for €4,500, including surgery, hospital, hotel, transfers, interpreter, tests, garments and complication insurance.
Because the journey is long, the plan is built around your recovery, not just the operation. Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç reviews your photos and medical history, and your written quote states how many days you should stay. You can read about the clinic and its partner hospitals on newcityclinic.com.
| Nearest airport | John F. Kennedy (JFK) or Newark (EWR) |
|---|---|
| Flight to Istanbul | about 10 h, direct |
| Time difference | +7 h in summer, +8 h in winter |
| Stay in Türkiye | 8–10 days |
There are direct flights from JFK and Newark to Istanbul, for example with Turkish Airlines, of about ten hours. Jet lag is real, so arrive a day before your consultation if you can.
For a facelift, we generally recommend the full ten days or a little more, so that the surgeon is fully satisfied before a long flight. Walk the aisle regularly, keep hydrated and follow the advice you are given on preventing clots.
Back in New York, New City Clinic continues your follow-up by photo and video call; the time difference just means agreeing a convenient hour. Tell your primary care doctor about the surgery and keep your discharge summary.
